THE SAME OLD GAME.

The Sentinel protested against the at
tempt to interfere with the jurisdiction of
the State courts when the Republican
Committee of One Hundred sought to try
in the Federal Court the men it had picked
out as guilty of changing the taly-sheets
of the late Marion County election.
Judge Gresham sustained the Sentinel in
its position.
Now, under theory conceived and pro-
pounded by Judge Woods, indictments
have been returned by federal Grand
Jury, not because of the forgeries, but be-
cause Of something else entirely remote
from the main question.
To arraign the accused before the bar OF
the Federal Court, a charge has been pre-
ferred that required legal microscope of
a million magnifying power to discover.
And if they should be convicted upon the
indictments, it will not follow that the
men who changed the tally-sheets are con-
victed.
The Grand Jury, however was not quite
so complaisant as the Republican Commit
tee of One Hundred hoped, and 1t has
nailed the ex-officio leader of the Republic
can party in Marion county, General Car
nahan, while it had the hammer in hand.
This is boomerang which che committee
| did not expect, and 1t has awakened to the
fact that 1t has overdone the business from
the Republican standpoint. The reckless
ness with which the indictments were
made appears notably in the case
OF Alfred 7. Beck, who has William Hen
derson, the chairman of the Republican
Committees of One Hundred, and three
other members of that Committee on his
bond. The jury fired with shotgun at
the whole community.
The fact of the matter is that the Fed
eral Court has no business whatever to mix
in this matter. There is only one question
In which the people have any concern, and
that is, who changed the taliy-sheetsi
These indictments are upon forced charge:
that make an offense out of ar
incident which has occurred every time an
election has been had. and which has neyel
before been regarded as an infraction o
the law. 1t has been the idea Of the Re
publican Committee of One Hundred tina
but little mercy would be shown to q Dem
ocrat in the Federal Count, and, conse
quently, to put these election cases in tn

FOR WHAT ARE THEY INDICTED

FOR WHAT ARE THEY INDICTED.
The twelve men who have been indicted
for conspiracy in the Marion County cleo
ton cases by the Federal Court Grand
Jury have not been indicted for conspiring
To change the votes on the tally-sheets.
They have been indicted, under theory
conceived by Judge Woods, for conspiring
TO cause inspectors of election to omit to
perform their duty, which was to safely
keep their respective tally-sheets, poll
books and certificates.
TIE question Of changing the votes on
the tally-sheets, the real crime, Is not In
the case at all.
II was necessary, in order to bring the
accused within the alleged jurisdiction OF
the Federal court, and to avoid clashing
with the opinions of Judge Gresham in the
Perkins contempt proceedings that there
should have been this straining OF the law.
But the Jury, acting under the specific
mandate OF Judge Woods, could do moth
ing less than return the indictments. And
what is the consequence? They have In
dicted eleven Democrats of prominence
against some OF whom there has never be
fore been a shadow Of suspicion tina
they were involved, not even OF
the part OF themselves. But tn

A BLOOMING CITY.

Indianapolis is now looking her prettiest.
Few cities in the country can display so
many groups of attractive homes set in
lawns made beautiful by trees, flowers and
careful gardening. AT this season of the
year, when the paint is new and the
greenery fresh, it is q rare delight to
wander among these quarters. Now that
so many owners of private grounds have
removed their fences, whole blocks have
assumed park-like appearance, and there
are vistas presented now and then as
lovely as ever charmed an artists eye. In
deed, we should think that those OF our
local devotees of the palette and brush
could find coign amid these
radiant environments from which they
could catch views worthy their most skill
full endeavor. A notable feature of mural
decoration in many instances is the run
ming vine. This vestment of living green
adorns scores of houses, giving them
a bower-like character which tenn
pers the landscape, softening the hard
lines of brick and stone, and making re-
freshing compromise between nature and
the architect. Though there are not many
palatial residences in Indianapolis, there are
hundreds of houses made beautiful by good
taste in the care of their surroundings and
happy concessions to the picturesque. AL
this argues local pride and satisfaction with
the conditions of social life. To covet the
admiration OF ones neighbors is virtue
that makes all the difference between
slovenliness and neatness. Now that the
fences are going out of fashion, the
more Jealous will the HORSEPOWER be
to see that his little domain is kept in
apple-pie order and in a condition Of per.
petuGl readiness for inspection. And
speaking of the abolition of fences, there is
such thing as carrying it to an extreme
of discomfort. While it may be well
enough to throw down street and division
fences, yet some quarter of lawn should
be reserved to indicate that, after all, the
house is the owners castle, and that a GER
tain degree of shirt-sleeved freedom still
obtains. 1t is private ground, and there
ought to be some reservation to MAKE pal.

publicans, could not blind its eyes to the
fact that the most conspicuous offender un-
der the theory of Judge Woods was no less
an individual than General James R. Carna-
han, chairman of the Republican County
Executive Committee. 1t was he who had
signed the circular from the committee
to the Republican judges of election direct
sheets, although, as lawyer, he must have
known that the inspector was the legal
custodian. Upon what theory the jury
failed to indict General Carnahan's fellow
conspirators, we can not conceive. He
wrote the circular as chairman of the Re-
publican Executive.C Committee. And who
were the members of that committee ad-
vising and counselling this illegal act.
Their names are as follows:
DR.. s. II. Mapes, s. f. Gray,
w. o. Patterson, DR.. E. S. Elder,
Peter F. Bryce, Edward ]. Conway,
John B. Elan, John R. Leonard,
Joseph r. Forbes.
It would seem that these persons were as
guilty as General Carnahan. AS the jury
appeared disposed to drag in every Demo.
crat in sight, we would like to know why
it treated these Republicans so kindly.
And then again, why did it not
indict the Republican judges who
obeyed the order of the Carna-
han circular. There were five or six OF
them, among them the Republican judge
in the Thirteenth Ward who jumped out
of the window election night with the
tally-sheets. Itappears to have made q
good deal OF difference with this jury
whose OK was gored.

PARNELL'S ILLNESS.

The reports concerning the health OF
Charles Stewart Parnell are very alarming.
His physical condition excites the worst
apprehensions of his intimate friends, and
1t is not unlikely that his death may occur
at any moment. The cause of Irish
liberty could i'll afford to lose its
great champion now. The agitation
is nearing crisis, which can scarcely fail
10 result in breaking the yoke of British
tyranny. For Parnell to die at this time
would be deplorable, indeed, not that it
would cause cessation of the great politi-
cal forces Which he has set in motion, but
because he would be prevented from wit
Messing the fruition of his historical strug-
gle. The day of success is at hand
and prayers will arise from millions
of Irish hearts all over the world that he
may be spared to witness the utter confu-
sion of Ireland's enemies, and to partici-
pate in the triumph which will make him
the proudest figure in Irish history. He
has buiIded so well that his death would
not ieopardize his cause. His faithful
Ieutenants, the Davitts, the billions, the
Redmonds, the Healys, the O'Briens,
could carry on the great work, pausing
only to bury their chieftain but not to
furl the banner he has so long and so VIC
toriously upheld. Parnell has made the
way plain and straight for them, and geven
them a chart and a method which leave
nothing problematical. They would have
nothing to do but to move forward on
the lines which he has so definitely es'
tablished. Besides they now have behind
them, not only the Irish people, but mill
ion Englishmen who have followed Mr..
Gladstone to ParneIPs side. Under these
conditions the loss OF no one man can
prove fatal to the Irish cause. Six years
ago ParnelPs death would have put 1t back
many years, possibly century, for it
is only at long intervals OF time
that SO gifted political leader as Parnell
appears in the world. And the world has
known but few politicians who have
welded such mastery of men as
Parnell has shown. he has won
it . by trusting to the might
! of his cause and by force of character
which enabled him to command respect.
| 1t is very remarkable that, since he as
sumed control of the Irish party, his leader
ship has never been challenged, for the
reason his career has been free of mistakes.

UNCONSCIOUS GROWTH.

ONOOLNoS4OO0 oASO w IL
The people of Indianapolis do no! realize
how much the city has grown.
The man who has returned after an abb
sence of several years is the better Judge.
If the citizens will call to mind the build
ings, public and private, which did
not exist three years ago, a brie
interval, he must discover that the
city has made very rapid progress. 1t
seems but yesterday since there was no
State-house, no City Hall, no Young Mems
Christian Association edifce, no monu-
ments in the parks and no hope of Union
Depot. Private residences of handsome
character have, in that interval, been built
by the score. These evideces OF pros
perity strike the visitor, familiar with
previous conditions, with great force, and he
is at once impressed with the idea that the
citizens of Indianapolis should feel very
proud of their city. With the acquisition
of cheap fuel we will see by next summer
many more indications Of develop
ment in metropolitan characteristics,
and the oldest inhabitant wilt
feel lonesome because of the rapid
disappearance Of long -familiar landmarks.
With the completion of the Union Depot,
there will be a transformation worked
along South Illinois street, the first steps
toward which are already apparent. Wood
ruff Place, which for so many years re-
manned the unrealized dream of its
founder, is now what he designed 1t
should be, an elegant residence quarter
largely sought by home-builders. The
recent rush to this locality for home sites
is eloquent of the change which is coming

CARNAHAN's INDICTMENT.


If Mr.. Coy is to be convicted, so must
General Carnahan. The latter, under
Judge Woods Interpretation of the law.
has written himself down guilty in plain
black and white. And If General Carna-
han is to be convicted, so must every men,
Der of the Republican County Executive
Committee, whose agent he was in advis-
ing the Republican judges to break the
law. No distinction can be made.
And what are the facts in this case?
The object OF this circular, agreed upon
the night before it was issued by the men,
bers of the Republican committee, was to
have these judges secure the tally -sheets, in
order that the Republicans could capture
the canvassing board. 1t was to have been
the old game again, and the votes were to
be counted as they ned been before, in the
interest of the Republican candidates. 1t
was as bold and unbIushing conspiracy as
was ever Matched.
1t must be remembered that the trials to
take place, if they ever do, will be upon
the indictments as drawn. These are not
indictments for changing votes on tally
sheets, but indictments for another mat
ter entirely. Therefore, General Carnahan
and his fellowmembers of the Republican
County Committee are in just as much
danger of going to the penitentiary
and wearing stripes as anybody
else. G sneral Carnahan could not have
been alone in this business. We have
never heard that any member of the Re-
publican Committee has resigned. They
are all in the same boat. If General Carna-
han ever goes to prison they will have to
go with him, and so will the judges of
election who complied with his mandate.
The people will see presently how much
of Republican partisan deviltry is back of
all this business. That a crime was COM
mitted, all good citizens acknowledge and
deplore. But that the particular crime
has been forgotten in a mad effort to break
down the character OF particular Demo-
Gratis, guilty or not guilty, they must
also admit. The indictment of General
Canadian shifts the boot to the other leg.
If Judge Woods theory be correct, then do
General Carnahan and his associates on
the committee merit all the infamy which
the Republican Committee of One Hun
dred has sought to heap upon tho head of
Simeon Coy. 1t is now the Democratic
turn to smile.
